Ironically, my name was made when I first started playing Pokemon video games. I had been following the TCG for a while with one of my best friends. I was ecstatic when my parents agreed to buy me a Nintendo DS lite for... my birthday? I can't remember the occasion, but I believe my first game was Pearl or Leafgreen. Anyways, I was stumped at one of Oak's, or Elm's, or whatever tree professor's questions. I didn't know what to name my character. I was sitting for hours on my living room floor, camped by the charger, wondering what to do. As this age, the little things mattered very much to me, and I didn't want to generically list my name, Zac(Yes, my name is Zac.) Finally, the seemingly perfect name hit me. I could be Zaxer. I loved the name. For unknown reasons, it seemed to suite me perfectly. I've used it in every Pokemon game I've owned, every online game I've played; it's followed me throughout the years. Sometimes there have been variations, like Zaxer 2 on Xbox, or Z4X3R in minecraft, but I always stick to the original. I've adopted the nickname "Z4" on this server, as people seem to accept and prefer it. When I was first starting out, people would call me Z4 regardless of their ability to view my full IGN. Thus to save them some trouble, I asked for my nickname to be Z4. I've come to like its simplicity, although I have not forgotten its roots.
